The rest are *More then likly* not needed! There are 2 parallel ports on my system, lpt0 and lpt1. I've got my printers on lpt0 and hope to use lpt1 for a `laplink' connection between my two computers. > > Most of this is in LINT! > > > I'm guessing that for whatever reason, I can forget about the missing > > entries in the older configuration file. > > > > [[ ... ]] I checked LINT and after I guessed that nothing would blow up if I tried to boot from a kernel built with only my sound driver` mods, I rebuilt and tried it. Moved kernel to /kernel and rebooted. Everything worked.

Then, minutes later it did. All that remains is to install the newest rev of X, 3.1.2. That can wait! gary
